The Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company opened th e i r new tunnel at the entrance of tho railway at Livaei pool, to the public, on Monday last. The tunnel is a mile and one-third in length, it is 91 feet high, and the span of the arch is 25 feet, The tunnel from one end to tho other is cut out of the solid rock, which, iu some platy% rises as high as the spring of the arch. The crown of the arch is composed of very strong brick-work. The cost of this laborious undertaking amounted to 140,0001. It will be attended with great conve nience to the publio, as the former station was about two miles from Liverpool. It oecupies about six minutes for a full train to pass through the tunnel.

A discovery has lately been made at a village in Hanover of a bundle of papers, believed to be the whole, or a part, of the manuscripts of Voltaire, that were stolen from , Ferney, in 1812, w i t h out it being ever ascertained by whom they were abstracted. The King of Naples intends remaining in Paris till the end of the month. He will then assist at the ma nceuvres of Compiegne, and from thence will go direct to Lon don, where he thinks of stopping a fortnight. The Journal de /Armee says—" The standards taken from Ab-del-Kader have arrived at Paris, and have been delivered to the Minister of War. I".tese ensigns, to which the Arabs are as much attached as the Europeans are to theirs, are of either figured or plain silk of different colours. Some are green and white, some all green, some crimson, and in the middle of each is a hand, or rather half a glove of a very different kind of stuff. They are affixed to a staff of a very hard but very light wood, on the top of which is a small globe, of brass or pewter, terminating in a point. Most of them are much torn and stained with blood, and appear to have been dearly won. They are to be deposited in the chum: a , of the Invalides." A curious piece of antiquity has lately been dis _ covered in the church-yard of Hemel Hemstead. 'jogging a vault for a young lady of' the name of Warren, te sexton, when he had excavated the earth about four f - eet below the surface of the ground, struck his spade a gainst something solid, which, upon inspection, he fauna tc be a large wrought stone, which proved to be tilt lid of a coffin, and under it the coffin entire, which was afterwards taken up in perfect condi tion; hut the bones i:ontained therein, on beinff exposed to the air, crumbled to dust. On the lid of the Coen is an inscrip tion, partly effaced by time, yet still sufficiently legible to prove it cont a i ne d t h e ashes of the celebrated Offa, King of the :Mercian, who rebuilt the Abbey of St. Albans, and died in the Bth century. The coffin is very curiously carved, and altogether unique of the kind. The church was built in the 7th century. The late nocturnal attacks in the streets have given rise to a singular adventure. On Saturday night, a party of police, on going its rounds, 'perceived in the rue de Fourcy a man dragging another by the collar, and at the same time holding a pistol to his head. They were both taken into custody, and conducted to the guardhouse, where they were locked up till the morning. An explanation then took place, and it appeared that an honest porter of one of the markets, not being able to find his way home from having got lute/cleated, accosted his fellow-prisoner to ask the proper di rection. The latter, overcome with the general alarm of as sasination and robbery, took the poor porter for a thief, and immediately drew out the pistol he carried for self-protection, and what the consequences might have been but for the inter ference of lawful authority, no one can tell. As it was, it ended in a hearty breakfast between the suepccted assassin and, his self-imagined victim.--Paris Papet. At the Shrewsbury Assizes a rather novo ease was tried. It was an action brought by a gcntlenrin of landed property, against a farmer, to recover damages for the loss of two cottages whieh bad. been burnt down in consequence of the ignition aa stack tif hay belonging to the defendant, and which WAS en the premises of the latter adjoining to the plaintiff's oottages. Front the testimony of the plaintiff's witnesses it appeared{ that one evening last autumn the hay stack in ques tion Oa ht firo, and was wholly consumed. The fire cora- Munlcatod to the farm buildings of the defendant, and after wards to the cottages of the plaintiff, and the whole were de stroyed. The stack had stood about a month or six weeks, and having been observed to smoke very much, an iron rod had been driven through it, and some portion had been cut out. It was said, however, that the defendant had not done enough, that the appearance of the stack for some time before its combustion was such that it ought to have been taken down. The value of the cottages was proved to have been about 1501., and the amount of the defendant's loss was 5001., for which he was taot insured. Mr. Justice Patteson, in summing up, said it was not enough that the defendant had done what lie be lieved to be sufficient. He might be a rash and imprudent person, and therefore his neighbour's property was not to be endangered by his injudicious conduct. The jury found for the plaintiff—Damage s , Five Pounds. This verdict excited surprise, as the plaintiff, it was conceived, had a right to the whole sum claimed, I.sol.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. SANTA ANNA. —The following extracts of a letter from an officer in the Texian navy, to his relative in this city, gives a portraiture of Santa Anna, calculated to mingle un qualified contempt with the abhorrence which the cruelty of that monster in human shape universally inspired:— " I have seen Santa Anna, and the rest of the Mexican pri soners, the most important of whom is Almonti. Santa Anna is a very ordinary looking man, and the greatest coward the world ever produced. As a proof of this, I will give you an instance that came under my own observation. He and his officers were sent on board our vessel at Velasco, for safe keeping, He had not been with us over a few days when the people became dissatisfied, and sent for him. As soon as he was informed of this, he judged our people by his own, and thought they were going to butcher him. The wretch ex claimed in Spanish—" Mercy, mercy ! Oh God ! if they wish to kill me, let them come and shoot me here,—don't let them take me ashore." We could not persuade him that his life was safe. He rushed below, and, like a Turk, took opium to drown his sorrows. As soon as the effects of the drugs were over, we hurried him over the side of the vessel into the long boat, and as he went the tears trickled down his pusillanimous checks, and " His coward lips did front their colour fly, And that same eye whose bend did awe all Mexico, Did lose its lustre." His friend Alm on ti i s a t hi c k -set man, speaks English sper fectly well, h as trave ll e d through t h e United States, very talented, affable, and ex t reme ly w inning in his consider him a greater v ill a i n t h an Santa Anna, because, like a serpent, h e on l y em b races to sting, whereas you can read deceit and indiff erence i n Santa Ann Ne a's countenance, and y ou y o rk Paper, know what t o expect."--w • The chain of convicts which took its departure from Bicetre in the middle of last month arrived at Brest on the nuo a e nsoyf from t unusual he itcnnd convictsei s s -, Bth instant. Everything went on without any order till they came to Bedee place, where a species of revolt took suddenly seized the sword of one o f the of the chain who were escorting them, and the two ends chain attempted to form a junction so as to Oloicise C apta i n Thorez, who had the command of the °wart, and D r . L eber, who was in attendance upon thorn, `ho determined resolution, however, of these o ffi c . o p s . and their men reduced the refractory villains to subjec tion, and some of the most turbulent were more heavily ironed. Among the most violent and audacious was Francois, the accomplice of Lacenaire, who, th roug h out the whole journey, incessantly uttered the most horrible l anguage . Th e priest Deiacollonge displ a y e d the most perfect resignation th and mildne ss during e wh o l e o f t h e j ourney, which even procured him some tokens of deference from his fellow prisoners. CHINESE CARVING.—I n carvig ood d ivor, and oth er su b stances, the Chinese have n W no rivals. an We can y - not approach them in their ivory work-baskets, fans, and other articles; no European artist, we believe, has ever attempted to cut out from one solid ball of ivory seven or eight interior ones, each separate from the rest, and as beautifully carted as the exterior one. These are all cut by moan - 4 of the several circular holes that are, in the ftrg irmanee, bored through the Solid ball,....Quadedy &Wm, _Jminissioner LAW sat on Wednesday night unti half-past eleven o'clock, and resumed this morning at an early hour, with a determination of clearing the list, and rising for the recess this week. Edward Clarke, whose case was before the Court a few days ago, again came up. He was opposed by Mr. N'eholit on the part of Messrs. Garnett and Taylor, the proprietor of the Manchester Guardian. His application was supot ported by Mr. Cooke. The insolvent on the former co aa „ sion was opposed in person by Mr. Garnett. It then ap„ peared that he had brought an action against the Illettichester Guardian for an alleged libel. The cause was tried in h a Court of Common Pleas in the course of last year, end ft verdict given for the defendants, who pleaded a justification. An application was afterwards made for a new trial, but refused, and the insolvent was now in custody for the costs incurred by the present opposing creditors, Counsel agreed to leavo the Case without comment in silo bands of Court.

Yesterday, William Perry, an Irish labourer, was brought before Messrs. COMBES and HAttnw,ck for final examina tion, on a charge of stealing a blanket, the property of Wm. Sheen, who, it will be rectdleCted, has been tried for cutting his child's head off. Sheen, who appeared almost in a dying state, stated that the prisoner and his wife had occupied a room in his house, and after they had left be dic . ,covered that a blanket belog,- i ng to him had been stokn. The prisoner declared solemnly that there had nit been a blanket on the bed during he whole time himself and his xrife occupied it ; and therefore he could net have stolen one of it. The Prisoner was discharged. Yesterday a girl about 19 THAMES, 07_,-,'FICE. fore Mr. BRODERIP, state of pregnancy, who 'appeared to be suffering much sleeping in the o from want of proper sus4, years of age, in an advanced enanee and rest, was brought be- St. George's iv iie sitting Magistrate, on a charge of the East. 1 3 ''.,n air on the steps of the workhouse of A policen,,,, girl had or ; streets named Wilt s hi re, 249 K, said the poor home, an d, to save h er f rom per i sh i ng in the 'ne had brought her before his Worship. She had, to h'.s knowledge, been sleeping in the streets for several n . .ghts. On Tuesday night he allowed her to sleep in the doorway of the National School of St. George, and di rected her to apply to the pari s h o ffi cers. H e b el i eved she had done so, b u t had been denied relief. On the succeed ing night he again found her on the workhouse steps in the most exhausted state, and he took her to the station-house, where she was provided with some refreshment. The girl, on being questioned by Mr. BRODERIP, stated that her name was Sarah Chapman, and she had been living in the capacity of housemaid to a printer in Westminster, where she formed an intimacy with a young man, named George Middleton, who promised her marriage ; but, after effecting her ruin, he refused to perform his promise, and her mistress, on discovering; her situation, discharged her. The father of the child, of which she was then pregnant, refused to assist her ; and having no friends to apply to, she solicited the assistance of the Queen square Magistrates, who said they had no power to interfere or to call upon the father of the child to give security for its support. She next waited on the parish officers of St. Margaret's parish, who refused to re li2ve her, and told her to go to her own parish, St. George, 'in which she had a settlement, On applying to the over seers of St. George's, vv'nere there is a board of guardians elected under the new poor law, she was told they could do nothing for her, and would not receive her until she was regularly passer:', to them by an order of removal. She went to the overseers or governors of the poor of St. Margaret's, 'who refused to pass her, and referred her back to St. Gee.rge's. She begged for admittance into the work house tf that parish, but the door was closed against her, and 'not knowing what to do or where to go, she lay down 0. - a the steps until the policeman removed her. She called as that office a few days ago, and met with an answer similar to that she received at Queen-square. Mr. 13fiovEafe asked her when she expected to be con fined The girl said that event would take place at the end of the month—that she was quite unprovided with neces saries, and that if the Magistrate did not interfere for her she and her babe must perish. Mr. BRODERIP lamented that he had not the power of compelling either parish to assist the prisoner, who ought not to he left to perish in the streets, or give birth to a child in the public highway, which must inevitably happen if she was not relieved. He would write a note to Mr. Gregory, one of the Queen-square Magistrates, in whose district St. Margaret's parish was, and recommend her case to his consideration. Wiltshire (whose humanity to the young woman de serves great praise) was then despatched with the note to Queen-square Police -office. On his arrival there with the girl he ascertained that Mr. Gregory was at Marylebone office. Mr. Broderip's note, however, was opened by ano ther magistrate, who gave the p o li ceman a l e tt er di rec t e d to the offi cers o f St. Margaret's, and ordered him to take the girl to the workhouse. On Wiltshire communicating his business to the relieving officer, at St. Margaret's work house, he told the girl to go and wait in the yard a mong the oth er applicants for relief until the Board met in the evening, and said he did not think they would relieve her. • A French gentleman, named Pourralk has recently arrived in London, bringing with him a tilbury, which pos sesses some new and important features as relates to the bar ness and carriage. This vehicle has the same appearance as any other fashionable carriage, but the horse is harnessed with the usual apparatus in such a manner as that in the event of his running away the driver can immediately release him from the shafts without the least risk to himself, or damage to the vehicle or public. The harness is very simple, and a horse can ibrmi he put to in a fourth of the ti me at present occupied in per ng that operation, and the horse carries very little more than a saddle-horse. The harness is also mull more eas ily kept in order. The axletree is constructed tipon anew principle, which combines the advantages of possaoing greater strength, and makinc, the d raug h t more easy to the - horse: On Thursday' last M. P ' ourrat, at the request of the Stewards of the Dove house Race Meeting, at Pinner, exhibited his ve hicle on the course. He mount e d, accompan i ed by his groom, and when the horse, a very spirited one, was at full speed, he, in an instant, released hint from the shafts, and in a moment afterwards alighted from th e ve hi c l e amid the plaudits of the nu merous company assembled. He repeated the experiment several times with the same result. The invention appears likely to create a complete revolution in the present system of building carriages and harness-making. FUNERAL OF A TURKISH OFFICER.—Several Turks, sent by the Sultan from Constantinople, have been some time at Woolwich, to learn gunnery and the art of war. One of them, a promising young man, died a few days since, and on Friday last his remains were deposited, without religious ceremony, in the ground of the depot, near the Hospital at Woolwich. The deceased being a Mahometan, our Christian rites were inapplicable. The Turks have a dread of contami nation in life or death, by coming in contact with unbeli evers, and their fi rs t d es i re i s to h ave t h e i r b ones d epos i te d where they may remain undisturbed by infidels. In the present instance the body was followed by the Turkish officers who had been associated with the deceased. A party of soldiers led the way to the ground, and the interment took place near the Ma. gazine. The MahOmetans only uttered one exclamation in the Turkish language, meaning " Farewell." A volley o ver the grave concluded the ceremony. G tneral Dundas, whohad known the deceased, attended the funeral.
